School Life Highlights
Pupils are welcomed to school each day by members of the Senior Team and clear routines, caring tutors and high standards of behaviour. This supports a calm and efficient atmosphere where learning isn’t interrupted. There are many opportunities for enrichment in addition to curriculum studies and additional support for pupils from both our SEND and Chaplaincy teams.
Community & Partnerships
We work closely with our five feeder primary schools, from Hastings to Seaford, ensuring an all-through approach to learning and faith. Our central place within the parish and wider community strengthens pupils’ sense of belonging through charity work, service and active participation in parish life, meaning that the partnership between school, parish and home is seamless and consistent.
